AMEN!! I, for one, am utterly delighted. Whether we actually enjoy
living here while it's happening is one thing - but I do think it will,
overall, be an excellent thing for London, and contribute enormously to
quality of life in that part of the capital after the event.

You've got to feel sorry for Paris (err ... no!) - still, at least they
might get what they deserve in 2012: The Eurovision Song Contest. ;-))
